Morning everybody!!Oh I hope you had have better weather than me today!! it is cold, damp and very windy!! but luckily I have my guest DT card for Tiddly Inks challenge blog to post today so that's brightened up my day!!
Its challenge 21 already!!! so here's the details for the challenge.....
We have a very fun challenge if you happen to be a pet lover because this week our challenge is all about our pets. :)
Grab your favorite Tiddly Inks pet or animal image (you can find 3 animal freebies here) and join in.
You have until next Monday at 10 PM CST to complete and link your creation and link it using the little inlinkz gadget on the challenge blog.
I loved making this card because I had a small little helper with it!!! I got Mo to pick which animal I should use and he chose Father bumble bear. He said "its just like him and daddy and could we make daddy's birthday card?"
So we set to work. I used my fav manly backing papers from funkyhand for this one too ( the pack is slowly disappearing now :( time to buy some more!! lol!!!) and they matched the colouring on my bears an absolute treat.
I used a lovely heart sentiment stamp to make a charm with my shrinkies ( yup, led astray by Lou and Chris again!!!! love ya girlies xxx).
Then, (and this is my absolute favourite bit on this card!!!) I gave Mo my black sakura glaze pen and asked him to write Daddy somewhere on the card. He chose where to write it all be himself and I am super proud of where he wrote it. He wrote it on the heart, but not just straight! He wrote it so carefully and followed the shape of the heart adding some little kisses!! I think he is definitely picking up the crafty genes a treat!!! and it will make a super special card for Daddy's birthday in november.

Lou this card is so incredibly wonderfully, and having your own crafting assistant certainly doesn't hurt. He did a bang up job with the sentiment.
